Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve (Advanced
Course Splits) Since Blue, Red, Green, and Brown runners all ran the same course on the Skyline Ridge part of their run, it is interesting to compare everyone's splits. Of course, runners had various "handicaps", e.g., Blue runners had run more on Monte Bello than those from the other courses before beginning on Skyline. Nevertheless, as one might expected, even on the Skyline Advanced course, the Blue runners generally beat the Red runners, the Reds generally beat the Greens, etc.. (Exception: you can see that having run some at Monte Bello was indeed a handicap by Penny's (who ran Brown) fine placing in the Advanced standings.) Below I have listed everyone who completed the Skyline Advanced course in under 100 minutes. (This list is best viewed in a mono-spaced font.) The middle two columns show the course that the person competed on and their overall placing on that course. I have also attached an Excel spreadsheet with everyone's splits for the Advanced course (available as html or as the original file). The top five splits for each leg have been color coded: fastest in blue, then red, green, brown, orange (natural ordering for orienteering!). Note that there are no splits for the Blue runners for the last two legs, as the number of Blue controls exceeded the capacity of our SI cards. For those two legs, I put the top 5 times in bold but not in color; it's clear from the total times of the Blue runners for those two legs that many of them had faster splits there than any of those actually recorded. Always interesting what one sees perusing splits. There's Dan Greene's really solid run - no top-5 splits, but 5th overall. There's Tapio confirming his downhill prowress with the top split on #6. And Mike Prindiville (whom I don't know) can sure fly UPhill - just look at his splits on the uphill legs! By the way, all the way on the right of the spreadsheet, I included the splits for Blue-Red-Green for the last Monte Bello leg (same for everyone) and for the M.B./Skyline transition. Regarding the former, again look at Mike P's incredible uphill, chasm-jumping split. Regarding the transition, there are a few people who's times got up into the 2:15-2:30 range, but in virtually all those cases, they came by the transition area during the turmoil after Russell's accident, so I don't think it was the competitor's fault. Finally, I've added the splits for my own test run (31:21, faster than even Vlad) to the bottom of the list so we can all think about the difference between running (what I was doing, knowing where the controls were) and orienteering (what all of the competitors were doing last Sunday). Also interesting to note (for me) how much slower I am going uphill. The spreadsheet also contains a second sheet with all of the splits from all of the courses. I put the splits for each course all on one line, making it much easier to read than the SI results. Also, corrected some names and some times that were truncated by narrow columns.
